Ryoichi Yamane, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Yamane Lab studies American literature and American cultural history. It focuses on the social networks surrounding people involved in publishing, such as authors, editors, and publishers. The lab examines how those connections shaped whether American authors were judged favorably or poorly. Literature of the American South, and Cold War culture and the practices of printing and publishing, are also research themes.
Kyohhei Kitamura, Professor
0 student voices
The Kitamura Lab thinks about film as art and about images found in society. It explores the relationships between images and culture, and between media and society, from a historical perspective. In addition to film studies, it draws on cultural representation studies, media studies, and historical sociology. It has dealt with themes such as film actresses and stars, popular culture, gender, and censorship.
磯﨑 憲一郎, Professor
0 student voices
Isozaki Lab studies the principles by which a novel is generated and the structural uniqueness of the novel as a form of expression. A distinctive feature of the lab is that it approaches works from the standpoint of a practicing writer, that is, someone who writes novels. Without relying on existing knowledge of literary history or its mapping of works, the lab reads closely, staying with the works themselves. The lab welcomes students who want to actively think for themselves about the question “What is a novel?”
Yuto Koizumi, Associate Professor

Koizumi Lab investigates how the problems of contemporary society are examined and questioned in literature, theater, and film. Its specialty is early modern English drama, especially Shakespeare's plays and the films based on them. The lab also explores ways to invigorate English education by drawing on the humanities. It also works on English classes that use films as teaching material, and on instruction that builds academic writing skills.

Kawana Lab analyzes the dynamics of the overseas base system to clarify the mechanisms of power in international politics. Its specialty is U.S. overseas basing policy, and it studies U.S. bases in Japan and in Okinawa through a historical approach. Using the perspectives of international politics and security studies, the lab considers questions about bases from both abstract and concrete angles. The professor has written books such as U.S. Military Bases in Japan, The Rise and Fall of Bases, and Why Does the Base Have to Be in Okinawa?
Yuta Suzuki, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Suzuki Lab studies school reform and classroom reform from both the practice side and the policy side. The lab values an approach of listening to the voices of those involved in school reform and learning from the field. Building on the field of education, the lab also takes up teacher education and the nature of teachers' professional communities as research themes.
Inohara Takehiro, Professor
0 student voices
The Inohara Lab represents and analyzes decision-making problems that arise in society using mathematical frameworks. Using discrete mathematics such as logic, set theory, and graph theory, the lab turns the essence of a problem into a mathematical model. The results of the analysis are interpreted in light of the original real-world problem to obtain implications for solving it. Consensus building, conflict resolution, social networks, and social modeling are also research themes.
Murota Masao, Professor
0 student voices
The Murota Lab studies methods and environments for improving real-world education in the field of educational technology. A distinctive feature of the lab is that it turns concrete solutions into reality by developing systems and tools. The lab has developed a learning system for reflecting on mock lessons, a practice system for English speaking, and more. Research themes are set, as far as possible, based on each student's own interests.
Reiko Sato, Professor
0 student voices
The Sato Lab studies methods of language learning, focusing on the learning of Japanese as a second language. Its research themes include the cognitive processes involved in learning a second language, reading instruction, and teaching approaches such as self-regulated learning and CLIL. The lab also covers learning in collaborative learning environments, as well as the images of the Japanese language teacher and the views on teaching held by Japanese learners and teachers. The lab is also working on developing an online test that diagnoses Japanese proficiency.
Kunihiro Sakuma, Professor
0 student voices
The Sakuma Lab studies sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass that occurs with aging. With an aging society in view, the lab aims to elucidate why muscle atrophy occurs. It also explores effective ways to reduce it, such as exercise, supplements, and dietary content. Autophagy, the cell's protein recycling system, is thought to fail with aging, causing unneeded proteins to accumulate inside skeletal muscle cells, which in turn leads to sarcopenia.
